They were dumb enough to sart him last week...

Calvin Nitzel

I believe we are too stubborn to switch to LS and will play CP until he throws 2 picks.

James Stiver

He is the better QB of the two. Logan can atleast use his speed in certain situations. Don't think it will really matter this week but praying for the upset. GBR

Rick Machacek

We need a change up. Running options, screens and misdirection. That's Logan.

Robert Lloyd

I would fire Whipple if the starting QB today doesn't go to Logan. Oh heck, I'd fire Whipple anyway.

Andy Fields

It's his turn, Chubba had his chances.

William Snesrud

He has stuck it out for three seasons and has true game experience, plus he is a better runner with knowledge of running a true option play.....more accurate thrower as well...

RJ Heinen

He deserves a chance

Chris Koch

I thought his performance last year vs Iowa was very impressive. Purdy seems overwhelmed at times and makes bad decisions.

VAHuskerFan

Logan is definitely our best option, but it’s gonna be embarrassing no matter who plays, but Logan is better

Perry Carnes

He has more experience. Did better than Purdy against Minnesota.

Bill Blatchford

Best option to throw and run!!

Larry Smith

Will it really matter?

Ruthie Patterson

He Is The Best Answer Now

Doug Einsel

better performance last game.

Glenn Suzuki

Not an outstanding player, but steady and reliable. Deserve the start on Saturday.

Brad Bredenkamp

Huskers have to have a legit run threat at QB

Jon Petersen

Chubba is an interception machine. Smothers has generally played well when given the opportunity--like last year against Iowa.

James Key

need to run a bit!

Sims will have had a full healthy offseason to learn the new offense and develop chemistry with the rest of the offense. There aren't any preseason games in cfb. Expecting Thompson to develop chemistry with the offense in much less time is a recipe for loding winnable games at Minnesota and Colorado

Michael Graham

Better runner.

Carl Wiest

Thing is, they are both really good QB's if they get coached up right.

Steven Sabacky

More fluid on the pocket

James Stiver

I believe Sims is a very accurate passer and he appears to be a strong runner. I would have liked to see him run more in the spring game!

Jerry Williams

Casey always looked good considering always under pressure, can throw the long ball and run.

David Weaver

I just think overall Casey the better option and def has leadership qualities as well. Part of this is just due to what we've seen from Casey vs what we haven't been able to see yet (real games) with Jeff Sims

Richard Stotts

lets see who Coach starts....Casey is just better.

Andy Fields

I was impressed with Jeff Sims. I just feel Casey Thompson is a really good QB and could be outstanding with a good o-line. We definitely need a good back up and Sims isn't a big drop off. If the o-line is better, we go bowling this year.

Scott Morris

I think Casey throws a lot better than Sims.

Randy Wolf

Better arm, better legs

Andy Morrison

Jeff Simms didn't seem like he has good throwing mechanics, and seemed like he rushed his throws. But my guess is we need both.

Jim Firnhaber

I believe Casey is the better passer and likely reads defenses faster.

Kevin Bolin

Sims makes too many mistakes and his knack for tossing INTs and putting the ball on the ground will get him on the bench sooner rather than later - question swill he stay if he losses the starting job

travis stoler

they both play but casey starts

Who will have more wins in his first season at his new school, Deion Sanders or Matt Rhule?

Nebraska's first two games should scare the fan base. Both on the road and with regard to Colorado, let's face it, they have way more swagger and are projecting way more aggressiveness and confidence. I think Big Red is 0-2 to start and Colorado will surprise.

Corey

Because of lack of athletes and confidence. It's coming again, you just refuse to see it.

Rhule has been there and done it at a d1 level. Sanders has not. Both programs are similar in records over the last few years. So I would lean on experience.

Steve Farrell

I just peaked at Colorado's schedule, it's brutal for first year coach

More Heart, Less Hype.

James Stiver

Rhule seems like he can get the team to believe in themselves and go out and have some fun with it and I think this will make a difference!

Brandon Pierce

We have the better team and better coach!

Dale Blackford

Colorados' schedule looks more formidable to them, then Nebraska's to them.

Richard Byers

Nebraska has a lot more developed talent in place. CU is rebuilding and had a lot of graduations and transfers out.

Ron Joseph

Colorado was much worse that Neb last year - a much deeper hole. We were close. With good coaching, we'll get over the top and to a bowl game. Besides Buffs suck

Thomas Wright

SHM...LOL Deion is just neon. All things that glitter aren't gold ! Colorado is going to find out the hard way just what type of coaching Deion is really capable of. I'm NOT drinking the Nebr kool-aid either, but let's face it, Rhule has put together quite the staff in comparison to Frost ! GBR !!!

Alex Perry

With Deion being Deion and getting rid of players by essentially forcing them out I believe this will be a setback in year one. With Rhule helping most Nebraska players stay and bringing in more talent I think they will have more success in season one considering they have more talent overall.
